OIT stands for \"Oral immunotherapy\" or desensitization. OIT is a medical treatment with a payoff of lifetime freedom from food fear and stress. It does require following some simple rules in the updosing phase, and over time it becomes more relaxed. It has been studied in clinical trials for well over a decade and traces back even to medieval times when kings would ingest tiny bits of arsenic to protect themselves from being poisoned. Allergy shots are a form of immunotherapy and desensitization called SCIT or subcutaneous immunotherapy.
OIT has an 85% success rate, and most docs require that a patient does not have EOE or uncontrolled asthma, and have a documented food allergy. The doc must also be sure you can take the protocol as seriously as it needs. A call to the office can clarify a specific protocol they use and insurance/costs. 84% of us have had insurance coverage!
The key to understanding OIT is that there is low level of allergen your child can safely eat without a reaction. It\'s invisible to the body. Then it\'s raised slightly and the body still doesn\'t react. The \"threshold of tolerance\" is gradually increased over time. The immune and digestive systems adapt, as they are meant to do.
The first day is a build up day, starting with a minute amount of allergen ( i.e.1/10,000th of a peanut) totaling up to a tiny amount that day with a few doses spaced out. You are sent home and take less or equal to than the \"safe dose\" once or twice daily. You return to office in 1-2 weeks to increase the dose under their watchful eye. Usually it\'s a minimum of 12-14 at-home...
